Facilities

The 2016 season will mark the second at Clyde Hart Track and Field Stadium on the Baylor campus.

Named for legendary Baylor track coach, Clyde Hart, the $18.1 million facility was dedicated on Dec. 5, 2014. The stadium accommodates 5,000 spectators and participants with seating on the front and back stretches. It was designed by Kansas City-based Populous, which planned McLane Stadium, and built by Austin Commercial and Flintco, which also constructed the football stadium. In addition to a state-of-the-art track and outstanding venues for field events, Clyde Hart Track and Field Stadium offers a range of facilities and amenities including:

 A 6,000-square-foot team facility containing the Winston Wolfe Clubhouse; and

 A 10,300-square-foot team building containing hydrotherapy pools, a training room, offices and meeting rooms, and storage space.

The surface of the track is a full pour polyurethane surface done by Beynon Sports, using its revolutionary BSS 2000 system with embedded texture. The Olympic-caliber BSS 2000 system is IAAF certified and offers athletes the highest level of control and maximum energy return. The track is nine lanes affording a spectacular view of the Brazos River.

In its first year, the facility hosted both the Baylor Invitational and the Michael Johnson Classic with fans, coaches and and athletes giving the venue rave reviews.

Former track and field athletes and Baylor supporters rallied around the program's return to campus. During the 1920s, Baylor track and field teams competed at Carroll Field on the Baylor campus before moving off campus to Waco Stadium (later called Municipal Stadium) around 1940. In 1960, Baylor opened Baylor Track Stadium, later known as the Hart-Patterson Track and Field Complex, on Clay Avenue near Floyd Casey Stadium.

The Clyde Hart Track and Field Stadium is located just next door to McLane Stadium at 1601 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
